Peak Shaving

‘When a business stops drawing just 1 megawatt of power from the grid, 300 homes can maintain power.’

Reducing electricity consumption for just twelve hours when asked, can earn you money and meet environmental goals.

Electricity cannot be stored economically, so at every instant in time, supply must equal demand. During times of peak demand the equation can be balanced by generating more electricity or reducing electricity consumption. The capacity charge associated with your site is set during the four highest demand days between December and March each year. The capacity charge gives and indication of your true contribution to peak demand.

Amanda Energy proactively monitors and predicts peak demand so our customers are in the best position to reduce their capacity charges. Amanda pays participants in the program for their performance over the previous hot season.

By voluntarily lowering your demand for electricity, your businesses helps to stabilize the grid, and you are paid for providing this important service.

"Amanda made the process as simple as could be done, and fulfilled the supply of the generator within the promised time frame. This put Kailis Bros in the position to be available for DSM events for the October 2011 supply year. Required technical support has been arranged and the generator has already delivered on its promise. "

“We are a bit remote in Muchea, so I was anticipating the install would take a while. They did a great job and actually managed to squeeze a few extra panels onto the generator to make the inverter work at maximum efficiency. The more power generated, the more money I save. Best thing is, it has not cost me a cent."

“We have had three sites on the DSM program since 2011. We are now looking at the feasibility of adding more sites, and also exploring the benefits of purchasing our electricity from Amanda and fitting solar. If we can care for the environment and our bottom line at the same time, why wouldn’t we?”

"We have been on the DSM program since 2011 and are now looking at adding more sites, as well as electricity supply and solar through Amanda Energy. This summer, I don’t have to worry about a black out."
